The Fascinating Gypsy Woman.

1marvel if there exists another of human kind so wise in all unwisdom, so knowing in all that beclouds others, so cunning in all that is valueless to the world, so adept in all that bewilders the ignorant, so keen in all that blunts and dulls those that yield to her spells, so fascinating in all that which, sorted and sifted for human service, is so utterly trivial and unwhole- some. In contemplating the gypsy woman through years of study, have never been able to get away from the notion of her likeness to splendid wild animal, leop- ard or tigress, trained to matchless de- mureness and humility by some Hindoo magician, still under the lash of the black art master, capable of strangest attraction in wondrous eyes and supple movement; and possessing charm of mystery, of power, of suppressed ferocity and deadly fascination which magically sway and hold in such subtle way as can only be felt, and can never be told. Thing of the night and mystery she certainly is. Human, as we weigh humanity, she is not.-Edgar l.. Wakeman's Letter.

MOnOtony of Farm Life.

The monotony of farm life and its at tendant dangers are well shown by the Tact that the large majority of the inmates or our insane asylums have been farmers or their wives The never ending round of work, with no opportunities for amuse- ment, are the predominant features of such life. The dangers to physical health are also many. The water supply is too often contaminated by surface water con taining decomrosing animal and vegetable matters, while the sleeping rooms, in win ter especially, are too frequently badly ventilated, and too warm or too cold. The need of change of scene, of air and of water is as pressing for the farmer and his family as for the merchant and the society lady.--Globe-D Democrat.

The Buckeye" and the "Papaw."

Originally Arkansaw had 45, ,000 square miles of timber land and about 900 square miles of prairie. She has no need of an
 'arbor day'' yet. Among her trees are some which have peculiar properties, the Ohio buckeye, for instance. The fruit and roots of this tree are used by Indians on their fishing excursions. They put the roots and fruit in bag, and drag the latter through the water. In an hour or so the fish rise to the surface dead Cattle die after eating of the fruit or leaves. Man eats the fruit of the papaw; hogs won't Ropes and mats are made of it's bark. The fruit and bark of the bay tree are used for medicinal purposes. They are supposed to be 8 cure for rheumatism and intermittent fever.-New York Times.

The Perilous Bar.

It is a source of modification to the "old salts'' of New York city that their harbor is nowhere deep enough, even in full front of the Atlantic, to permit @ steamer in distress to reach point of safety inside of the perilous bar. The disabled and leaky Britannic was detained outside long time because she draws thirty feet of water, and if storm had arisen she would probably have been sunk In sight of land.-Chicago Times.

Not So Humble, Perhaps,

It is easy enough to call one's self names. Those self depreciating mortals who are so fond of calling themselves mis- erable sinners and worms of the dust would flare up instanter if anybody should presume to eOrroborate their statements; and it is just possible that the poor publi- can, with all his humility, would not have been overpleased had somebody at hand called him the names he bestowed upon himself.

The March of Civilization.

"Yes," said the gentleman from Texas as he put his feet up on our desk and leaned back, "they say there is no ad- vancement in the southwest, that progress in that region is unknown, but there's where they're mistaken. You know Texas railroad conductors used to yell,
 Twenty minutes for robbery-have your valuables readyP but that's all out of date now. The robbers meet the train at astation, put their horses in the dining car and ride to the next town, making the robbery while the train is running twelve or thirteen miles an hour. I tell you, Texas doesn't lag in the great march of civilization so much as you might think" Dakota Bell.
